About this organization
Mission
YELLS empowers youth to rise as active, healthy, and productive servant-leaders within their communities. We envision communities where youth have voice and value and ensure they possess the leadership skills, confidence, character, and collaborative networks needed to shape their world.
About
The YELLS Mentoring Program matches high school "Bigs" with elementary school "Littles," and provides a service-learning curriculum that prepares them to design youth-led service initiatives together. 21/25 (84%) Mentoring Program participants with updated academic data available showed at least one letter grade improvement or maintained an "A" or "B" in the 2017-18 school year. In this fiscal year, 37 high school Bigs and elementary school Littles forged powerful mentoring relationships that helped them grow as leaders while giving back to their community. Our 16 Mentoring Bigs learned to conduct a community needs assessment, and then wrote proposal letters, drafted budgets, secured donations, developed agendas, recruited volunteers, and marketed youth-led projects designed to uplift their Franklin Gateway community. Hundreds of community members were engaged through their youth-led "Franklin Fair" Block Party, a community-wide soccer tournament, and coordination of childcare for parents to attend ESL classes.
